Which is better? Is there any loss in quality by using the laptop as the go-between (via RCA)? If so, is it negligible or significant?

I'm taking a looong look at the Marantz SR5004 but can't pull the trigger due to it's lack of native internet radio streaming capability.

Can you recommend a comparable alternative that has all the same features + direct streaming?

Thanks!

*EDIT* ...dammit...I should have posted this in the receiver forums. my bad....any chance a mod can move it there?
